More than 200 populations and provenances of representatives of different genera from the families Pinaceae and Cupressaceae, and also from the genus Ephedra, family Ephedraceae, were studied. Investigations were carried out in natural populations and at introduction, in different environmental conditions, in botanical gardens and parks; various intraspecific forms and unique trees have been studied. The variability of chromosome numbers and a wide range of chromosomal mutations have been revealed. The studies on karyotypes in species of conifers showed higher level of chromosomal anomalies and their wide spectrum in extreme conditions, at introduction, in cultivars and abnormal form of trees. Use of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the 45S and 5S ribosomal RNA gene probes and DAPI staining allows to identify of homologous chromosome pairs in the karyotypes of conifers and to facilitate the comparative karyotype analysis of these species.

Diploid complement of Larix species includes 24 morphology of some Picea species showed different types of chromosomes (2n = 24). Their karyotypes contain six pairs of irregularities in processes of meiosis and pollen development metacentric and six pairs of submeta- or intercentric (Bazhina et al. 2017, 2019).

Detailed karyological and cytogenetical researches of chromosomes (Kruklis 1974a, Muratova and Chubukina Siberian spruce from different population of Siberia were 1985, Muratova 1991b, 1993, 1997a, Muratova et al. 1991, carried out (Kruklis 1971a, b, Medvedeva and Muratova 1987, 2007, 2008, Sedel’nikova and Pimenov 2005b, 2019, Syzikh Broka 1990, Muratova 1997a, Muratova and Vladimirova et al. 2006, Goryachkina et al. 2013a).

In addition to Siberian spruce, one or more B-chromosomes include other Picea species studied by us from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Canada, Kyrgyzstan, China, USA, France, Czech Republic, Japan. They are: P. abies (L.) Karst. – 1-4B, P. ajanensis (Lindl. et Gord.) Fisch. ex Carr. – 1-3B, P. breweriana S. Wats. – 1Â, P. ×fennica (Regel) Kom.

It was established that Sedel’nikova 2000, Muratova and Vladimirova 2001a, different Larix species and populations differ in the number Vladimirova et al. 2003, 2007, Muratova et al. 2004, and localization of secondary constrictions. For the first time Sedel’nikova et al. 2011, Karpyuk and Muratova 2005, among representatives of this genus, we discovered Vladimirova et al. 2007, Kvitko et al. 2009, Pimenov et al. additional, or B-chromosomes (2n = 24+1B) in L. gmelinii in 2012, Goryachkina et al. 2013b, Tashev et al. 2014, 2015, Eastern Siberia and L. sibirica in Soutern Siberia and on the Muratova 2018). To date, 21 species with B-chromosomes, north of Middle Siberia (Muratova 1991a, 1994, Sedel’nikova including interspecific hybrid P. ×fennica, have been found in et al. 2005, 2011, Syzikh et al. 2006, Muratova et al. 2007, the genus Picea. Scientists of V.N. Sukachev Istitute of Foresr 2008, Sedel’nikova and Pimenov, 2007, Kvitko et al. 2009). for the first time found B-chromosomes in P. abies, P.

Studies on meiosis in L. gmelinii at the V.N. Sukachev breweriana, P. obovata, P. pungens, P. purpurea, P. Institute of Forest Arboretum showed that this process was schrenkiana. Chromosome complements of some Picea characterized by various anomalies. Common and specific species are given on Fig. 4. types of meiotic irregularities were found at different stages. The studied species of the genus Pinus belong to two These irregularities can be the cause of heterogeneous pollen subgenera: Strobus (section Strobi, subsection Cembrae) and formation with different ploidy levels and other anomalies of Pinus (section Pinus, subsection Sylvestres). In Cembrae development (Goryachkina and Muratova 2016). group Siberian stone pine P. sibirica Du Tour, Korean stone

Genome mutations, such as aneuploidy, mixoploidy, Special attention was paid to the karyological study of the Pinaceae family species on dry lands and swamps of various and, in some cases, polyploidy, were found in the studied types in the southern taiga subzone of Western Siberia species of Pinus, Larix, Picea, and Abies. Mixoploidy was (Sedel’nikova and Muratova 1991, 1992, 2001, 2002, found in L. sibirica and P. sylvestris tree forms abnormal in habit Muratova and Sedel’nikova 1993, Sedel’nikova et al. 1999, (Muratova and Sedel’nikova 2000, Sede’nikova et al. 2001, 2000, 2001, 2004, Sedel’nikova and Pimenov 2003, 2005a, b, 2011, Pimenov and Sedel’nikova 2002, 2003, Sedel’nikova Sedel’nikova 2014).

Chromosome determined. Cytological examination of Common juniper (J. mutations were found in Siberian larch (L. sibirica) in communis) on swamps and dry lands of Western Siberia Kazakhstan, Mongolia and in Taimyr under the influence of showed that the karyotype of this species contains 22 technogenic emissions, in Sukachev larch (L. sukaczewii) in chromosomes (2n = 22). All chromosomes were metacentric, the Southern Urals, in northern populations of Gmelin larch but one pair was close to the submetacentric type (Fig. 7).

Sequoia gigantea Torr.), cytogenetic markers makes it possible to identify Thuja îrientalis L., cultivars of T. occidentalis L. with chromosomes in the karyotype, select homologous pairs, and different color of needles and crown shape such as ‘Lutea’, identify chromosome mutations.

At present fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with ‘Wareana’, ‘Wareana Lutescens’, ‘Globosa’ were studied (Pimenov and Sedel’nikova 2003, Sedel’nikova et al. 2005, 45S and 5S rRNA gene probes has been successfully used to 2008, 2011, 2014, Sedel’nikova, 2016). Seeds for researches study chromosomes of the main forest-forming coniferous were collected in parks and arboretums of Russia, Bulgaria, species in Siberia. Karyotypes of three Larix species (L. Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, USA. The studied species have 22 sibirica, L. gmelinii, and L. cajanderi) were analyzed using chromosomes (2n = 22). These species are characterized by FISH and DAPI staining (Goryachkina et al. 2013a). Two mixoploidy (Fig. 8). major 45S ribosomal DNA loci per haploid genome have been

observed in the intercalary regions of two chromosomes (III

and IV) of L. sibirica, III, IV and VII chromosomes of L.

gmelinii and L. cajanderi. In addition to them, minor

nucleolus organizing regions (NORs) were mapped in

pericentromeric regions of chromosomes I, II, VI, and XII.

Two closely related species, L. gmelinii and L. cajanderi,

showed similar hybridization patterns. Only one locus of the

5S rDNA was found in all larch species in the distal region of

the chromosome III. This chromosome containing major loci

of the two ribosomal RNA gene families can serve as a marker

of the genus Larix (Hizume et al. 1995, Lubaretz et al. 1996,

Liu et al. 2006, 2007, Zhang et al. 2010, Goryachkina et al.

2013a). Karyotype analysis of Picea schrenkiana was carried out

using modern molecular cytogenetics methods (Goryachkina

et al. 2018). DAPI-bands were detected on 5 pairs of the

chromosomes. Major loci of 45S rRNA genes were revealed

on 5 pairs of the chromosomes; other 2 chromosome pairs with Fig. 8. Metaphase plates of Thuja occidentalis L. cultivars: 'Wareana',

2 minor sites of 45S rDNA were observed. Clusters of 5S 2n = 22 and 2n = 33 (a); 'Lutea', 2n = 22, 'Wareana Lutescens', 2n = rRNA genes occur on two arms of chromosome III; this 22. Magnification: Material stained with acetohematoxylin.
